Learn Latin and Greek

Every year, I choose a few students to work one-to-one with me on an accelerated program to improve their classical languages and raise their grades. This is a very personalised approach, and we will work together on creating a schedule that ensures achievement. If you are ready to have a discovery call with me about one-to-one tutoring, please fill in my registration form here.

If you are looking for additional support, you can also join my grou`focus lessons, which cover specific points of GCSE and A Level Latin and Greek specifications:

If you are planning to prepare for examination outside of your current school, I regularly support students who are learning Latin and Greek outside of a school. I deliver the full curriculum, and families are expected to manage examination arrangements with my support if needed.

What teaching resources do you use?

Most students come with a book they or their school have already chosen. Because I have worked with students from different schools, I provide engaging lessons based on a wide variety of Latin courses from beginners to A-Level.

Below is a list with some examples for Latin:

Hands Up Latin Primary Course

Suburani - this is a brand new course and one of my favourites!

For GCSE and A-Level I have a created a wide variety of resources to meet your needs, and I am constantly creating new ones to suit all learning needs.

For university entrance preparation (including Oxbridge and CLAT test), I provide every individual student with personalised reading support, guidance for extracurricular activities including courses, art events and travel, and mock-interview practice.

What are your courses like?

I design my courses around my students' skills and interests, and I assess progress openly and with regularity. I provide bespoke resources when needed, and I have excellent knowledge of literature to guide you in choosing any additional materials.

My home is in Richmond, UK, and teach mostly students preparing for examination in English and International boards, as well as entry to UK secondaries and universities. I conduct my teaching in English but I am also fluent in Spanish, Catalan, German and French, and I can provide support in those languages for students that are starting to learn in English after a relocation or a change to an international school.

Ask me your questions!

If you have any questions about GCSE, IGCSE, A Level or IB course choices, please do get in touch and I will help you understand the requirements for each examining board. I can also point you in the direction of resources and information to give the subject a try and see if it is for you.
